Reiki is an accepted form of Eastern energy medicine used as complementary care for chronic pain and cancer patients in over 40 hospitals in the US and Canada including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, John Hopkins, Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital, California Pacific Medical Center, the Memorial Sloane Kettering Hospital and the Tucson Medical Center. The National Institute of Health also performed a study on Reiki and found it to have valuable results in many health issues. (1).

Due to the overwhelmingly positive results seen in clinical settings, and the tireless efforts of Reiki advocacy organizations, such as the Canadian Reiki Association, the American Reiki Association and the International Association of Reiki Professionals, Reiki treatments are currently covered by some extended health care packages in Canada.

The experience of receiving a Reiki treatment is very relaxing. Recipients sit or lay fully-clothed in a comfortable position during the treatment while the practitioner gently rests their hands on or just above the body, using traditional hand positions that cover the body's major meridian lines and points.

The response to the gentle energy aids the body in recovering from whatever imbalances it may be challenged with, resulting in lower blood pressure, strengthened immune response, improved digestion & absorption of nutrients, and deep sleep. Reiki has also been shown to be effective in pain management, keeping the overall quality-of-life high in recipients undergoing medical regimes such as cancer treatments. Reiki has also shown to shortened recovery time from surgeries with recipients needing less medication during their recuperation period. Recipients of Reiki have also reported that it lessens anxiety and depression. The calm state of mind induced during the deeply relaxing Reiki treatments facilitates better overall health on the mental and emotional levels as well (2). In all the studies conducted on Reiki, no negative side-effects have ever been reported and research shows that requests for Reiki in hospitals continues to increase (3)!
